00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:22.960
In the elite world of wealth,
few people off any are richer than the

2
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:32.399
Prince of Brunei. Prince Jeffrey of
Bernei, brother to the Sultan, has

3
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:38.719
a net worth that some estimate in
the trillions. In the spending habits to

4
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:47.600
match. In a lawsuit filed by
two of Prince Jeffrey's former lawyers, those

5
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:56.719
habits were exposed five hundred ferraris thirteen
hundred bedroom estates in hiring a list stars

6
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:07.280
for scandalous acts. Welcome to Exposed
Scandalous Files of the Elite. Prince Jeffrey

7
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:23.239
of Brunei. Hey everyone, and
welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the

8
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.719
Elite. I'm Jim Chapman, your
host, and first I want to thank

9
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.560
everyone for joining me today for this
episode, sharing the content. It helps

10
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.879
us grow. Please rate us on
whatever platform you're listening on right now.

11
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:47.319
We sure appreciate that. I was
listening to the Joe Rogan Experience and he

12
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.359
had Andrew Schultz on his show,
and they were talking about a story regarding

13
00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:04.040
the Prince of Brunei. It's Jeffrey, and it was so intriguing. I

14
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.000
started doing a ton of research.
As soon as I listened to that episode

15
00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.800
and I wanted to bring y'all kind
of the full story on this. It's

16
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.439
just really bizarre, and this guy
was one of the richest, if not

17
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.080
the richest people in the entire world. And there's something before I get into

18
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.199
this episode that I want to make
you aware of, and that is a

19
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.479
lot of the Middle Eastern princes and
kings and all these sorts of things,

20
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:38.360
sultans, they are a lot richer
than what they tell people. They don't

21
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.879
have to report income like here in
the States. Of course, we're obligated

22
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.759
to report our income. They report
what they want to report. But estimates

23
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.719
say that a lot of these Middle
Eastern princes and kings and things like that

24
00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:02.520
are worth trillions with the tea rellions, they just don't claim it. And

25
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.120
this would be a good example of
that. So in order to tell you

26
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.599
this story, I need to give
you a little bit of history regarding Brunei.

27
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.879
So way back in the day,
on the corner of a large island

28
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.000
called Borneo, there was a tiny
nation and it's about the size of Delaware.

29
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.439
It was called Brunei. Now,
for six hundred years, royals had

30
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.360
literally married their cousins. It was
a small nation. Everybody was kind of

31
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.840
related to everybody, and for six
hundred years, that's what they did.

32
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:42.120
True story, So Brunei pretty much
went through history unnoticed for that six hundred

33
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:49.800
years. Now, that was until
nineteen twenty six when oil was discovered there.

34
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:55.039
That's right, black gold Texas tea
as we say here in the United

35
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.039
States. So the nation started to
prosper, and by nineteen eighty they gained

36
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:06.680
independence from Great Britain. So Great
Britain pretty much ruled over them at that

37
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:11.520
time. But in nineteen eighty four
they had prospered to the point that they

38
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.040
were able to gain their independence from
Great Britain. And the sultan at that

39
00:04:15.160 --> 00:04:21.160
time, who he was, the
twenty ninth Sultan, he was gaining tons

40
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:28.879
of popularity and money, I mean
tons of money. The sultan at that

41
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:33.759
time, as a matter of fact, was the richest man in the world

42
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.079
in nineteen eighty seven, and that
was just what he claimed, the richest

43
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:45.680
man in the world due to the
oil underneath the ground in Burnei, and

44
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:51.680
his worth was listed at forty billion
dollars in nineteen eighty seven. To tell

45
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.000
you how much money that is,
y'all today, that will be worth an

46
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:04.959
estimated one hundred and fifteen billion dollars, but as I just told you,

47
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:14.839
that's reported income, most experts speculate
it was closer to a trillion dollars.

48
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.560
Now. The Sultan at that time
was forty one, and he was pretty

49
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.639
wild and not afraid to flow on
his wealth. He purchased department stores,

50
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:32.240
he financed arms dealers, He had
seventeen private jets, He boasted thousands of

51
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:39.199
luxury cars, and he even purchased
a painting for over seventy million dollars.

52
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:44.399
Seventy million dollars for a painting.
You know you got some money when you

53
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:48.360
do that. Now. As much
as the Sultan loved money, he also

54
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.000
loved his younger brother, Prince Jeffrey, and they were a dynamic duo when

55
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.360
it came to spending money in excess
and all those sorts of things. Jeffrey

56
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.360
owned a fleet of yachts, and
they had some interesting names. To see.

57
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:11.240
The least one of his yacht's name
was tits. You can't make that

58
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:16.680
up. A two hundred million dollar
yacht with its tenders on that yacht named

59
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:21.319
Nipple one and Nipple two. I
got to give the guy credit for being

60
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:28.879
creative to say the least. But
get this, Prince Jeffrey owned five hundred

61
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:36.120
plus ferraris. He even had a
planeload of polo ponies imported in an entire

62
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:43.959
planeload. Y'all. These are million
dollar horses each. He and a collection

63
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.600
of five star hotels, including some
you've probably heard of. The Beverly Hills

64
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:54.120
Hotel. He owned that, the
Hotel bel Air he owned that. He

65
00:06:54.240 --> 00:07:01.079
even owned the world renowned jewelry manufacturing
company called Asbury. He purchased that for

66
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:12.519
three hundred and eighty five million dollars
cash. How much money these guys had.

67
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.199
Now Back at home, the Sultan
and Prince Jeffrey, they loved in

68
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:21.319
a seventeen hundred and eighty eight room
palace on forty nine acres. And on

69
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:29.600
his fiftieth birthday, Jeffrey decided he
wanted to have a little concert so much

70
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.160
like we would do. You know, he hires a music artist to come

71
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:39.360
in and perform that. But his
music artist he hired was Michael Jackson.

72
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:46.879
He paid seventeen million dollars and even
built a stadium just for that specific concert.

73
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.399
And you know, you got some
stupid money when you're doing that.

74
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.439
On another occasion, Whitney Houston was
flown in and at the end of the

75
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:01.519
concert she was given a blank check
from Prince Jeffrey, and he told her

76
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:07.879
just to fill out what she thinks
she was worth. So Winny Houston writes

77
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:13.680
a check to herself in the amount
of seven million dollars. The brothers would

78
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.959
travel in one hundred member entourages to
visit clothing stores all over the world and

79
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:26.319
buy one hundred suits at the same
time of the same color. You want

80
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.440
a gray suit, Let's get a
hundred of them. Stupid money. They

81
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.399
were Muslims, but they indulged in
a lot of things outside of the Muslim

82
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.440
religion. Islamic law allowed them to
have four wives, but they were known

83
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:48.320
to step outside of even the four
wives and have harems the likes of which

84
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:56.000
the world had never seen. Now. Throughout all of this, there was

85
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.480
a third brother that I haven't mentioned
yet. His name was Prince Muhammed,

86
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.480
and he, unlike his other two
brothers, he was a strict Muslim who

87
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:11.360
had a disdain not only for the
indulgence of the Sultan and Prince Jeffrey,

88
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.840
but also the favoritism shown to Prince
Jeffrey by the Sultan. So Prince Muhammad

89
00:09:16.919 --> 00:09:20.840
he only had one wife, and
believe it or not, he flew commercial.

90
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.480
He didn't have his own private yet
and was waiting for the chance to

91
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.480
stop the party. He was watching
all this and just waiting for his opportunity,

92
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.240
and in nineteen ninety seven he found
it. A former Miss Usa,

93
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:45.600
Miss Usa y'all named Shannon Marketek sued
Jeffrey and the Sultan for ten million dollars.

94
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.320
You thought she would have sued from
more than that. That's like five

95
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.759
bucks to them, but she sues
them for ten million dollars. And she

96
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.200
claimed that herself and six other women
had been hired for one hundred and twenty

97
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:05.080
seven thousand dollars each to rival to
Bernai for what they thought were professional appearances

98
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:11.399
promotional stuff right. However, she
claims they were forced to be sex slaves.

99
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.679
She said her passport was seized and
she was made to take an STD

100
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:24.399
test and then had to join other
women for all night parties and all that

101
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.200
you may imagine were involved in that. She stated that whenever the Prince and

102
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.759
his posse were on the way to
the dance club, an actual disco ball

103
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:39.519
would drop from the ceiling and that
disco ball would signal them to start dancing

104
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.559
and start lighting up and turning just
like you would picture in your mind.

105
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:50.279
And Jeffrey and his friends would then
invite their favorites for tea, which was

106
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.799
his code for sex, and he
used a lot of like code. We'll

107
00:10:54.840 --> 00:11:00.960
get into that a little bit.
One of Prince Jeffrey's aides told the former

108
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.840
Miss USA that it would be the
biggest honor of her life to sleep with

109
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:13.080
Jeffrey because he was half man and
half god. Wow. A woman by

110
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:18.240
the name of Jillian Lauren, she
actually wrote a book about being in Prince

111
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:24.440
Jeffrey's harem and said the sex with
the Prince was quick, impersonal, and

112
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:30.679
unprotected. She said after her first
encounter with the Prince, he quote slapped

113
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:35.120
her on the ass and bolted out
of the bed, and he insisted she

114
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:43.519
call him Robin, which was the
name he insisted all his lovers call him.

115
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.799
Another kind of code thing. She
said, he would buy his girls

116
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.159
he slept with a Maserati. He
would give them one hundred thousand dollars bonus

117
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.840
boxes of jewelry and even paid for
plastic surgeries, including boob jobs. From

118
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.639
time to time. He would also
pass them along to his brother, the

119
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:09.120
Sultan. Jeffrey denied the allegations in
Shannon Marketic's lawsuit and they were dismissed due

120
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:16.879
to lack of evidence, but the
media backlash was very damaging, and American

121
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:22.000
girls actually were no longer invited to
Bereni because of the scandal. Then in

122
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:28.159
nineteen ninety eight, a lawsuit was
filed by Bob and Rathy Manorkin. They

123
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:35.200
were Armenian brothers who Jeffrey befriended in
nineteen eighty one after buying suits from them.

124
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.360
They were his suit supplier. The
Minorcans went on to sell the prince

125
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.960
much more than suits. They sold
him jewelry. They sold him cars,

126
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.799
planes, boats, and real estate. They were kind of brokering deals for

127
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.759
him. When Jeffrey renegged on a
one hundred and thirty million dollar property deal,

128
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:03.039
the Minorcan sued Jeffrey countersuit. He
charged the brothers had breached the fiduciary

129
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.519
duty by marking up the goods they
sold him by anywhere from one hundred to

130
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.360
six hundred percent. Jeffrey didn't testify
at the trial, but his lawyers presented

131
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:18.320
the Prince as a sucker too out
of touch to notice the markups because the

132
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:24.879
Minorcans had posed as close friends.
In court, the Minorcans described Jeffrey's sex

133
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:31.399
parties at home and abroad, saying
that there were over seven hundred and forty

134
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:37.799
seven young, mostly young women,
that they kept track of. The attorney

135
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:43.600
called him a man of unlimited taste
and one man walking market who bought practically

136
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:50.559
everything he saw, including a rug
woven with jewels and threads of solid gold

137
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:58.159
for seven million dollars. Who doesn't
need a rug like that? Ten jewel

138
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:07.440
encrusted watches that depicted on the hour
a couple having sex for eight million dollars

139
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.720
yep, a risk watch that shows
a couple having sex on the hour every

140
00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:18.879
hour, and erotic fountain pens for
one point three million dollars. I have

141
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.759
no idea what erotic fountain pins are, but for one point three million dollars

142
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:30.159
they better be good. In London
alone, the Minorcans charge he kept forty

143
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:35.639
prostitutes at a hotel and spent thirty
four million dollars for the former Playboy club

144
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.080
there, which was more than four
times the market price, so that he

145
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:48.639
could house more hookers and secretly indulge
in his passion for gambling, and of

146
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:54.399
course Jeffrey denied employing prostitutes. Now
remember that other brother I was talking about,

147
00:14:54.519 --> 00:15:01.200
Mohammed. Well, Mohammad finally convinces
the Saltan and Jeffrey was going to

148
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:07.480
take him down, and that launches
an investigation by the Sultan and he dispatches

149
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:13.440
two hundred forensic accountants, two hundred
to examine the books and records of Prince

150
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:20.519
Jeffrey and y'all. Forensic accounting by
itself is expensive with like one company do

151
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.120
it. He had two hundred separate
forensic accountants. That's crazy. The Sultan

152
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:35.600
discovered that during Jeffrey's fifteen years as
the head of one of Brunei's government entities

153
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:43.159
that was basically over the finance for
Brunei, forty billion in special transfers had

154
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:50.519
been drawn from its account. Fourteen
point eight billion had been paid or used

155
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.039
by Jeffrey himself, eight billion had
gone to the Sultan. Get this,

156
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:03.240
thirteen point five billion remained unaccounted for. Jeffrey claimed that the Sultan had authorized

157
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:08.440
all the withdrawals, and he said
it was inconceivable that forty billion dollars could

158
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:15.519
have been withdrawn without anyone noticing it
over the previous fifteen years. The Sultan

159
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.399
denied that encounter that Jeffrey had embezzled
the money. Look, you're not talking

160
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:25.360
about embezzling, you know, even
a million dollars, You're talking forty billion.

161
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.679
Armed troops eventually searched Jeffrey's palace and
he was ordered to turn over his

162
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:36.759
passport until he signed a settlement agreement
in which he promised to return assets including

163
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:44.039
over six hundred properties, two thousand
cars and over one hundred paintings, five

164
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:49.200
boats, nine aircraft, and billions
of dollars in possessions he had stored in

165
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:55.919
twenty one warehouses. And after swearing
to comply fully with the agreement, what

166
00:16:55.960 --> 00:17:02.320
do you think Jeffery did? He
left the country and jeffrey spending continued unabated

167
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:08.480
after leaving Brunei, and he shot
back at the sultans, saying that they

168
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:15.319
had an unwritten pack and it was
supposed to be kept secret that the Sultan

169
00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:22.319
allowed him to support himself by retaining
six properties as lifestyle assets, including the

170
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:30.119
New York Palace hotel, the Hotel
bel Air, two residences in London and

171
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.960
a home in Paris, and even
a trust fund maintained by Citibank. So

172
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:38.440
they got into this feud, and
the Sultan's trying to get this money back

173
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:45.400
and Jeffrey he's not budgeting, and
it actually became the world's most expensive legal

174
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:55.599
battle and history. The Sultans spent
get this and estimated four hundred million dollars

175
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.440
just to track down Jeffrey's wealth.
Much of it was squirrel to weigh and

176
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.599
bank accounts and shell companies in you
know areas of the world that are tax

177
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:10.799
havens, so you can't even figure
out how much money's in there. In

178
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.279
two thousand, the Sultan froze Jeffrey's
assets through injunctions, but it had little

179
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:21.680
effect. He had sold off untraceable
hordes of arts, cars and jewels,

180
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.799
and he would just keep the cash
and you couldn't trace it. So I

181
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.359
told you about what really got me
on this story with Prince Jeffrey, and

182
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.039
that was a conversation that Joe Rogan
and Andrew Schultz had about him. This

183
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:38.759
is just about a month ago,
uh, and I wanted you to hear

184
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:45.119
that short conversation. So here's what
that sounded like. On the Joe Rogan

185
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:48.720
experience, like you know the saltan
Obernin's deal. What is that? Oh,

186
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.839
my god, Sultan aber nine,
he would he had his own nightclub.

187
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.960
Maybe he still does, Okay,
So he had his own night He

188
00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.640
has like five hundred ferraris. Like
these guys have insane amounts of money because

189
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:03.839
it's not it's not public, right, so they don't have to be like

190
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.359
the world's riches exactly, but they're
richer than everybody. They have trillions.

191
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.720
And so he had his own nightclub. And so what he would do is

192
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:17.640
he would pay actresses. He would
find these girls, get me her,

193
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.880
and he would get these gals and
give them exorbitant amounts of money to come.

194
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.519
And then he would have a nightclub
where it was only him and he

195
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.240
would go down there and it's filled
with gorgeous women. And he would go

196
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.559
down there and just go, you
come with me, and then they'd go

197
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.640
fucking party. And they were making
a lot of money. And one of

198
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.079
them was writing a book and so
she had a laptop and she was like

199
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.319
documenting. They confiscated her laptop and
then she went back to America that she

200
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:45.240
spilled the beans and she rated out
all the other girls that were doing it

201
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.559
and kind of fucked up the whole
thing because like a list people were getting

202
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.599
shit tons of money this thing to
go over there, Yeah, I would

203
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.720
say a list, but people that
you know, Yeah, there's like people

204
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:02.240
you know of and if you go
there, you get millions of dollars,

205
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:06.160
like this lady had gotten millions of
dollars in jewelry from him. There's a

206
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:15.640
service that apparently that where like yeah, apparently, right, but likely billionaires

207
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:19.480
can fuck like sports illustrated models and
shit and like Victoria's Secret Chicks chicks that

208
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.079
we've seen, and it's cost a
lot of money, and they do it

209
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:26.240
because it's like, hey, it's
easier than you know, going to do

210
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.759
these shoots, the easiest. They
don't want to tell anybody that they did

211
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.720
it. They don't. And also
they're getting a fuck billionais. They're not

212
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.319
fucking some random crackhead, right,
They're gonna already fuck the billionaire, so

213
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.640
it might as well make some fucking
money doing it. And it exists now,

214
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.680
and you know about this allegedly allegedly
I may know people who have partaken.

215
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.200
So it's like and this exists bang
like cover of Maxim I don't know

216
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.680
the cover, I don't know what's
going on. Just some hot ladies that

217
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.519
you're aware of. But they're not
just hot chicks that come from Russia.

218
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.960
Right, We're talking about famous people
that you would never think would even need

219
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.359
to do that, right, Just
these are like the ecosystems that exist out

220
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.319
there. Well, it makes sense
if you're worth two hundred billion dollars and

221
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.519
you give someone a million dollars to
fuck you, that is nothing. You

222
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:14.720
make that in five minutes, I
spend okay. In two thousand and one,

223
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.039
Jeffrey was forced to auction off his
personal possessions after using the country as

224
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.920
a piggy bank, spending an average
of seven hundred and forty seven thousand dollars

225
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.559
a day for ten years, on
top of the seventeen billion in gifts to

226
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:33.079
friends and family. The Sultanese true
vulgarity was exposed. His brother also treats

227
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.640
the company as in the country as
an atm, and it remains a crime

228
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:40.599
in Brunei for anyone to ever discuss
how the royals spend their money. When

229
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:42.359
you don't work for your money,
how can you value it? Like if

230
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.119
it just comes right out the grounds, like how do you really think is

231
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.200
spending How much was he spending a
day? So he lives in a palace

232
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:57.200
with one thousand and seven hundred and
eighty eight rooms, two hundred and fifty

233
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:02.000
seven bathrooms, five swimming pool,
was a mosque, a banquet hall that

234
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:07.359
holds five thousand people, and a
one hundred and ten car garage. When

235
00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.279
he turned fifty, the sultan built
a stadium, invited invited Michael Jackson to

236
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:17.240
perform in it, and paid him
seventeen million dollars for three concerts. Jeffrey

237
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:21.720
fifty nine maintains a separate pleasure palace
and once owned a one hundred and fifty

238
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.400
foot yacht called the Tits, called
the Tits nice. He named his fenders

239
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.640
Nipple one and Nipple two. And
you can never understand why others found that

240
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.079
juvenile and crass. Here and abroad, the brothers are infamous for their sex

241
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:40.160
parties and their harems composed mainly of
underage girls. That's crazy, Wow,

242
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:45.839
wild bro. That amount of money
that he's spending, that is so crazy.

243
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:48.759
Three billion dollars plus. But that
doesn't that site said it didn't include

244
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:53.079
the seventeen billion dollars that he was
giving out to people. Wow, you

245
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.640
mentioned the Michael Jackson thing for his
birthday. Yeah, ok, that is

246
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:02.640
ball and Sony. These these fucking
things exist all over the place, crazy

247
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.119
and it's the easiest money that these
girls would ever make crazy. Yeah,

248
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.640
yeah, well, and it's so
much. If you've got that much money,

249
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.599
it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't
mean anything. And the money's coming

250
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.440
every day. It's just stacking up. Giving someone a million dollars to fuck,

251
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:22.759
and the girl's probably wait, a
million dollars regular sex. You're not

252
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:30.640
gonna show me. He's not gonna
give you the Cincinnati top hat. Whatever

253
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:38.400
the fuck. Now. Eventually the
prince paid out a ton of lawsuits,

254
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:42.279
and for all intents and purposes,
even though he had to pay a bunch

255
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:47.200
of lawsuits out and he was a
total sex for eak, he's still crazy

256
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:52.920
rich today and he's now sixty nine
years old. Y'all. You cannot make

257
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:57.279
that story up. So if you
ever wanted what it's like to be the

258
00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:03.519
richest man in the world and have
money that you really could care less what

259
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:08.079
anything costs, there you go.
That's what you do with it when you

260
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:15.680
are Prince Jeffrey, And that is
his story. Now with that, I

261
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.599
got a little something extra for you
today, or lang yap as we call

262
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.599
it here in South Louisiana. So
I've received a lot of messages through the

263
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:27.599
Facebook. And incidentally, go follow
the Facebook page if you're not following it

264
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:36.559
already, just search exposed scandalous files
of the Elite on Facebook. It'll pull

265
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:38.680
it up and you can stay updated
with everything we're doing. You can send

266
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:44.599
me messages to suggest scandals of the
elite. Now it's got to be you

267
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.400
know, this is different than a
typical true crime podcast and that we focus

268
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:55.640
on society and people that would be
considered elite in society. It doesn't mean

269
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:59.319
they have to be filthy rich.
I've done one on a police officer before,

270
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:07.440
so if they're elite in the manner
of trust, a teacher, something

271
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.920
like that, we may do something
on them. But we like to keep

272
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:15.400
it to topics that you would know
no matter who you are anywhere in the

273
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:21.279
world. You know you would know
who these people were, So feel free

274
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.200
to send me a message. But
I got something a little treat for you

275
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:30.920
today. I've gotten a lot of
messages about lawsuits of famous brands that were

276
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:37.200
what people would consider ridiculous frivolous lawsuits
a big thing here in the United States,

277
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:42.279
and there's a lot of big companies
that have kind of been or fell

278
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.400
victim to that, some really bizarre
lawsuits. So I'm gonna give you a

279
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:55.480
few of them. Just quickly shout
out to Sarah Renneger who messaged me and

280
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.759
asked me if I would cover any
of those, And I'm gonna cover a

281
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:02.799
few of them for you here.
They're really short, but they're really interesting.

282
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:07.480
The first, how about Starbucks.
Everybody's heard of Starbucks. A Chicago

283
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.880
woman by the name of Stacy Pinkus. She filed a five million dollar class

284
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:17.920
action lawsuit against Starbucks in April of
twenty sixteen, and she claimed the company

285
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:22.519
put too much ice in its cold
drinks. The law city qus Starbucks of

286
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:29.839
advertising ice drinks as twenty four ounce
beverages when the cup contained only fourteen ounces

287
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:34.759
of fluid. YEP. The result
of that lawsuit, and it was named

288
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:41.400
the most frivolous lawsuit in twenty sixteen
by the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for

289
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:45.599
Legal Reform, was dismissed, as
you would imagine, by a federal judge

290
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:51.920
in late of twenty sixteen, so
she did not get her five million dollars.

291
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.880
How about the Hershey Company. God
by the name of Robert Brighton of

292
00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:02.079
Missouri filed a lawsuit and he claimed
the Hershey Company in tenally sells partially filled

293
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:07.960
packages of Whoppers, Reese's Pieces,
and other products. In May of twenty

294
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:12.240
seventeen, his five million dollar lawsuit
was given the green light to move forward,

295
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:18.640
believe it or not, and in
twenty eighteen, his case was thrown

296
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:25.759
out by a district judge concluding that
Brighton wasn't really harm because even though he

297
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:30.319
realized the packages of Reese's Pieces and
Whoppers weren't full, he continued to buy

298
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:36.359
them, and bye he did.
Over the course of a decade. It

299
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.480
was discovered and I don't know how
they figured this out, but it was

300
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:45.079
discovered he bought over six hundred packages
of Whoppers and Reese's Pieces. Dude's got

301
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:51.720
a sweet teeth. How about Subway? In twenty thirteen, a group of

302
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:56.079
subway customers filed a class action lawsuit
against the chain, claiming its foot long

303
00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:03.680
subs didn't always measure up to twelve
in Before the lawsuit was consolidated, some

304
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.680
planets were seeking up to five million
from the sandwich chain. And I don't

305
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.480
know what's up with US five million
dollars, but that seems to be the

306
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:17.319
magic number. US District Judge Lynn
Audeman called the case quite weak, and

307
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:22.400
Subway was cleared of deceptive marketing practices, but agreed to make sure subs were

308
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.920
proper sized in the future. How
about Beck's Beer. In twenty thirteen,

309
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:34.400
several beer drinkers of Beck's beer filed
a class action lawsuit against Anheuser Bush,

310
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:41.440
seeking upwards of five million. There's
at five million again. They claimed deceptive

311
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:48.200
packaging caused them to believe the beverage
was manufactured in Germany. Production was actually

312
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.000
moved to Saint Louis in twenty twelve
for that beer, which originated in Germany,

313
00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:57.839
but there was nothing that said made
in the USA on the label,

314
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:02.920
so they sued. But here's a
surprise for you. The court actually ruled

315
00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:07.440
in the plainiff's favor, and a
magistrate judge approved a settlement for customers who

316
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:18.079
purchased Beck Pilsner Beck Dark Becklight in
Octoberfest beer from two thousand and eleven to

317
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.880
June of twenty fifteen, and those
with receipts so if you keep your beer

318
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.319
receipts, you were in luck.
They were able to file acclaim for up

319
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.279
to fifty dollars per household or up
to twelve dollars without a receipt. Now

320
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.359
that was a tricky part for me. So what did you just have to

321
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:41.359
say you bought it and you get
twelve bucks? I guess. So how

322
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:48.319
about Fear Factor? Remember that show
on NBC hosted by Joe Rogan. Incidentally

323
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:53.160
a viewer by the name of Austin
Aiken. He sued NBC for two point

324
00:29:53.200 --> 00:30:00.839
five million dollars in two thousand and
five because a segment where contestants ate rats,

325
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:07.519
mixed and a blender caused him to
vomit and run into a doorway.

326
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.240
He felt the stunt went too far, but was unable to turn off the

327
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:18.039
television fast enough to avoid the stunt. However, the outcome was not what

328
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:23.440
ache and had hoped for. His
frivolous lawsuit was dismissed and the judge warned

329
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:33.279
him against filing an appeal. You
gotta laugh at that. How about Anheuser

330
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.920
Bush again? So a guy named
Richard Overton sued Anheuser Bush in nineteen ninety

331
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:45.359
one for ten thousand dollars, claiming
that its advertisements were untrue and misleading.

332
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:49.680
He studied the bud Lights TV commercials
led consumers to buy products that were dangerous

333
00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:55.480
and could lead to addiction or death. According to the lawsuit, he pointed

334
00:30:55.519 --> 00:31:00.400
to television advertisements featuring bud Light as
the source of antesies coming to life,

335
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:07.680
tropical settings, beautiful women and men
engaged in unrestricted merriment, and as it

336
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.519
turned out, drinking beer does not
automatically mean that you'll be transported to a

337
00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:18.519
tropical island and inhabited by beautiful people. He sawt monetary damage because he believed

338
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:23.519
the advertisements caused him physical, mental
injury, and emotional distress, as well

339
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.680
as financial loss. So what do
you think the court did in this case?

340
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.680
Well, they not only dismissed the
case, he had to pay some

341
00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:40.119
money for causing the court so much
trouble in the amount of twenty seven hundred

342
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:47.079
dollars. Universal Studios, let's talk
about them. People attend Universal citios annual

343
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:51.839
Halloween hor Nights to enjoy fund and
frights. But one grandma she got more

344
00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:56.240
than she bargained for. She sued
Universal Studios in nineteen ninety eight for emotional

345
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:01.720
and physical distress and damage stemming from
a visit to one of the Haunted House

346
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.279
attractions. At the end of a
Haunted House, the grandmother was visiting with

347
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:12.720
her grandchild. A man wielding a
chainsaw frightened them, so they hurried for

348
00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.599
the exit door. Unfortunately, there
was a puddle outside that door that caused

349
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:21.119
her to slip and fall, and
she sued Universal for fifteen thousand for physical

350
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.640
injuries. Actually, she may have
a little bit of case with that.

351
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.720
I mean, this is a grandmother. If she's legitimately hurt and they were

352
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:35.559
not cautious with all that outside,
she's got a case there. And actually

353
00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:40.079
the Universal Studios must have thought that
as well, because they settled with her

354
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.640
out of court. How about Home
Depot. In a recent court case,

355
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:50.880
a group of Chicago planets filed a
class action lawsuit against Home Depot because the

356
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:54.400
stores four by four lumber actually measured
out to three and a half by three

357
00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:59.240
and a half inches on each side. Home Depot and other lumber suppliers have

358
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:02.799
explained that four by four is just
the name of the boards, its industry

359
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:07.480
standard dimensions, that they are actually
three and a half by three and a

360
00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:13.279
half inches. Nevertheless, they wanted
more than five million dollars in damages,

361
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:15.759
and a district judge, well,
he didn't agree with them either. He

362
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.240
sided with Home Depot and dismissed the
case. McDonald's. A California resident,

363
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.240
Webster Lucas sued the company for one
point five million in twenty fourteen. You

364
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:32.519
ready for this? Get ready?
Because he only received one napkin with his

365
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:38.160
meal after a potentially racially charged argument
with the manager. He was offered free

366
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:44.519
burgers, but he claimed the incident
left him emotionally distressed and unable to work.

367
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.799
Come on, y'all, Lucas is
no stranger to taking on fast food

368
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.720
corporations. Prior to following the lawsuit
with McDonald's, he had filed one against

369
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.720
Jack in the Box twice and he
didn't get anything in those cases. And

370
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:05.039
of course he did not get anything
in the McDonald's case. But you wonder

371
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:10.960
why insurance, You know, insurance
prices are so high for car insurance and

372
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:17.800
liability insurance if you're a business.
Well, there's some good examples why.

373
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.280
I mean, some of the most
of all of these, pretty much with

374
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.920
the exception of one that I've covered, are absolutely frivolous and ridiculous, and

375
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.679
I'm gonna give you one more.
And this is Google nowadays, It's hard

376
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:36.159
to imagine getting around without Google Maps, right. But one woman she might

377
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:40.280
have taken the apps directions a little
bit too literally. Lauren Rosenberg. She

378
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:45.480
sued Google in twenty eleven after the
Search Engines map tool instructed her to walk

379
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:52.320
across the rural Highway now instead of
taking a safer route and allowing Google to

380
00:34:52.320 --> 00:35:00.360
recalculate, Rosen followed exactly what Google
suggested. She walked across the high way

381
00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:06.639
into oncoming traffic and ended up getting
hit by a car. She was seriously

382
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:12.199
injured and sued both Google for negligence, fade to warn and defective design,

383
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.840
and she sees the driver of the
car that hit her. Google asked a

384
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:22.079
district court in Salt Lake City to
dismiss the claim, and the district judge

385
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:28.880
granted Google's request of dismissal, finding
that they were not at fault and that

386
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:35.639
common sense should have played a part
in her decision to walk right in front

387
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:39.480
of oncoming traffic. So there you
have it. I wanted to give those

388
00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:44.920
to you. Thank you to that
listener that sent me that request and I'll

389
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:50.800
try to fill these from time to
time for you when I do shorter scandalss

390
00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:54.039
spiles of the elites, and if
I can fit them in under you know

391
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:58.719
where we remain around that forty five
minute to an hour time mark, I

392
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:09.840
will do so. Thank you so
much for listening to expose scandalous files of

393
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:15.960
the elite, and until next time, I'm Jim Chapman. Much love,
